Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Where do Bugs need reporting to?

[PYROcomp]

I see no reason not to give a choice of at least 2 browsers during install.
Perhaps make FF default but give the option of midori/chrome.  This would
allow the install on very resource limited machines of a smaller browser.
PLEASE consider this as it would make the lubuntu install a VERY much
favoured thing among my associates.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Creating alternate ISOs, 64bit ISOs, etc. (status update)

[PYROcomp]

Howdy Jonathan,
Sorry for the delay, I was making sure everyone in our group was into this:

We are interested in giving a hand with building install ISOs.
Is there a source for information on this process?
Could you help us out in getting started?

You do an EXCELLENT job and we know that opensource can be a very time
demanding hobby thus we wanna help out!

Many many thanks

For me the MOST important function would be support for older machines.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Ask yourself...

[PYROcomp]

- You don't have to throw away your old machine, since it will revamp
a machine starting from a P2* and above giving you a full and ready to use
desktop in your own language.


Does the 11.04 edition in fact run on P2s?   As I understand it support for
old CPUs was dropped from the latest kernels...

This is a REXMO FAIL,  sorry .  I will in future read the wiki closely.

Perhaps this would be a worthwhile project:  compiling support for i586?
Let me know,  if there is enough belief in support for i586 I will suggest
it to the sl4mm3r5 group.

I for one,  +1
